Definitions
- the invention relates to a thermal pattern sensor, exploiting the pyroelectricity properties of a material, and advantageously forming a fingerprint sensor.
- Fingerprint detection can be performed by so-called "passive" sensors exploiting a temperature difference between that of the finger and that of the sensor, as described in the documents US 4,394,773 , US 4,429,413 and US 6,289,114 .
- the finger At the level of the peaks of the impression, the finger is in direct physical contact with the sensor.
- a heat transfer between the skin and the contact surface of the sensor is carried out by conduction, which leads to a first time variation of temperature.
- the valleys of the footprint the finger is not in direct physical contact with the sensor, the heat transfer is therefore performed through the air which is rather a thermal insulator, which leads to a second temporal variation temperature, less important.
- the difference between these two temporal variations in temperature results in a difference between the signals measured by the pyroelectric capacitors, depending on whether they are under a valley or under a crest of the footprint.
- the image of the impression therefore has a contrast that depends on this difference.
- the level of the signal obtained is zero when the finger and the sensor are at the same temperature, or that the contrast of the captured images varies, which then poses problems during the subsequent processing of the images. obtained (for example, a reversal of temperatures results in an inversion of the image obtained).
- Another type of sensor offers a solution to this problem through the addition of heating elements under the contact surface of the sensor.
- Such a sensor is described for example in the patent application EP 2 385 486 A1 .
- the heating elements dissipate a certain amount of heat in each pixel of the sensor and the heating of the pixels is measured after a certain time.
- the temperature variation obtained is therefore important in the valleys of the impression, where the heat is transferred to the finger through the air, and lower at the crests of the impression, where the heat is transferred directly to the finger. , by conduction.
- the elements described above for fingerprint detection also apply to the detection of a thermal pattern other than a fingerprint, the element whose thermal pattern to be detected is disposed on the sensor during the measurement. .
- a thermal pattern sensor includes thermal sensing means which may be pyroelectric elements, diodes, thermistors or any other temperature sensitive element for converting a temperature change into a potential or electric current variation.
- a pyroelectric type sensor comprises a matrix of pyroelectric capacitors arranged on a substrate, for example made of glass.
- Each pyroelectric capacitance comprises a pyroelectric material portion, disposed between a lower electrode and an upper electrode.
- An electrode is brought to a constant potential, and forms a reference electrode.
- the other electrode collects pyroelectric charges, generated by the pyroelectric material in response to a temperature change.

- the upper electrode is covered with a protective layer on which the element whose thermal pattern is measured, for example a finger,
- the senor is also provided with a heating element generally made from the same electrically conductive layer as that used to make the upper electrode.
- This heating element is for example made in the form of a coil partially surrounding the upper electrodes and for laterally heating the pyroelectric capacitors at the upper electrodes.

- the irradiation can be carried out with a fluence equal to about 17 J / cm 2 , a pulse duration equal to about 2 ms and a number of pulses equal to 5.
- the pyroelectric material having optionally undergone a previous crystallization is then annealed, for example made at about 130 ° C. for about 60 minutes, to finalize the total crystallization of the pyroelectric material.
- the crystallization of the pyroelectric material can therefore be carried out in two stages: first of all irradiation by UV light impulse to crystallize well the second face of the layer made of pyroelectric material in order to increase its thermal conductivity, then a thermal annealing completing the crystallization for the remainder of pyroelectric material not crystallized by the previous irradiation.
- the pyroelectric material is a P-based copolymer (VDF-TrFe)

- This polarization is performed only once for the entire lifetime of the pyroelectric material.
- This DC bias can be at room temperature or hot (up to about 100 ° C).
- the polarization is carried out at a room temperature, it is possible to apply a DC voltage up to about 150V / ⁇ m of thickness of the pyroelectric layer for a period of time for example between a few seconds and a few minutes.
- a voltage of 120V / ⁇ m will be applied for 20s.
- a DC voltage for example between about 50 V and 80 V per micron thickness of the pyroelectric layer can be applied for a duration for example between about 1 min and 5 min.
- the temperature is then lowered until the ambient temperature is reached, then the electric field applied to the pyroelectric material, via the applied DC voltage, is stopped.
- Such polarizations allow the PVDF to reach pyroelectric coefficients between about 20 and 45 ⁇ C / (m 2 .K).
- the molecules inside the pyroelectric layer 200 remain oriented thus, even when the material is no longer subjected to this electric field.
- the material may thus be polarized by applying an initial bias voltage across the electrodes 108, 110.
- a pyroelectric material thickness of less than or equal to about 2 ⁇ m will be chosen in order to favor the polarization of the pyroelectric material of this capacitance. and the level of the electrical voltage applied between the electrodes 108, 110 for effecting the initial polarization of the pyroelectric material (when the pyroelectric material is to be initially polarized).
- the ZnO and / or ZnO / Zn (OH) 2 particles 210 are then deposited on the pyroelectric material layer 200, so as to at least partly or completely fill the pores of the second main face of said layer. pyroelectric 200, and optionally, to further form a layer of ZnO 220 on said pyroelectric layer 200.
- the ZnO and / or ZnO / Zn (OH) 2 210 particles may be deposited by any printing technique involving liquid inks (screen printing, gravure printing, inkjet, flexo-engraving, offset etching). .
- this layer can be deposited by vacuum technology, such as Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), by physical phase deposition. vapor (PVD for ("Physical Vapor Deposition") or by cathodic sputtering.
- ALD Atomic Layer Deposition
- PVD Physical Vapor Deposition
- cathodic sputtering
- Portions of the pyroelectric material 200 are defined by the implementation of photolithography and etching of the pyroelectric material.
- the etching used corresponds to a plasma etching
- an O 2 plasma can be used alone or in combination with SF 6 (sulfur hexafluoride).
- the portions of pyroelectric material conserved after the implementation of this etching correspond to the portions of the pyroelectric material located at the level of the pixels 102 of the sensor.
- the portions may be made directly, without an etching step, by a localized deposit corresponding, for example, to ultrasonic spray deposition, or to inkjet or screen printing.
- the second electrode, or upper electrode, 110 is then deposited, according to deposition techniques that may be identical or different from those used to deposit the first electrode.
- One or more second electrically conductive layers for forming the heating elements 118 are then deposited on the structure obtained at this stage of the process.
- the heating element 118 is then formed by etching the electrically conductive layer or layers previously deposited in the pattern of the heating element 118, for example in the form of a coil or in the form of a rectangular line.
- a photolithography step followed by a plasma etch step or in wet are for example implemented for the formation of the heating element 118.
- the layer is etched, for example via the implementation of a plasma etching.
- the material or materials intended to form the protective layer 116 is or are then deposited on the entire structure previously made.
- the deposit (s) may be physically (for example PVD) at low temperature or by liquid means (for example by centrifugation, spraying or inkjet).
- the protective layer 116 is formed as soon as the deposition is localized on the heating element 118 and any parts of the material pyroelectric not covered by the heating element 118 (as is the case when the heating element 118 forms a coil located only above the portions 200), and it is not necessary to implement an engraving of or deposited materials to form the layer 116.
- the material or materials are also deposited next to the portions of pyroelectric material, an etching, for example by plasma, is then implemented in order to remove the portions of the material or materials deposited next to the portions, thus allowing access to the ends.
- the senor is used as a fingerprint detector.
- the sensor can be used to carry out a thermal pattern detection other than fingerprints, because each pixel 102 of the sensor reads the heat capacity placed above it and that whatever the nature of the thermal pattern.
- the senor can also be used for producing a non-cooled infrared imager.
- the pixels 102 of the sensor are in this case integrated on a CCD or CMOS type of integrated circuit collecting the electrical charges generated by the sensor.
- Such an imager further comprises an infrared lens filtering the light arriving on the sensor. So that the sensor can be subjected to a temperature difference (necessary given the measurement made by the pyroelectric capacitors), the imager comprises a device successively for blocking the infrared light arriving on the sensor and then let this light.
- Such device can correspond to a "chopper", that is to say a wheel with a hole and rotating in front of the sensor.
- An absorber member may be added to the pyroelectric material to improve the absorption of the received infrared radiation.
